All right, I will give it a try. It is too tight that I didn't want to take the risk before asking here.They’re likely just basted, should be pockets there
Lavender shirt, light grey shirt, light blue obviously. Grey sport coat, grey sweater, etc. I wouldn’t overthink it. It’s a pair of blue pants.Question for ya'll. I've got an older pair of Abraham Moon Navy Tweed trousers and have the hardest time styling a fit with them. They aren't herringbone like the current run here: https://www.spierandmackay.com/product/navy-herringbone-8328-nt01
Besides a lighter neutral-colored shirt, any recs or tweed inspo links on what to wear up top?
Appreciate the insight. I don't own a whole lot of tweed so I guess I battle with the tweed patterns in tops not meshing with the bottoms.Lavender shirt, light grey shirt, light blue obviously. Grey sport coat, grey sweater, etc. I wouldn’t overthink it. It’s a pair of blue pants.
These would look great with a solid camel jacket imo. Or a mid gray barleycorn if you can find it. Many are more comfortable with pattern mixing than I am, but I would steer away from other patterns up top.Question for ya'll.

Reviewing the Size Chart, I now see you are probably better off in the 42. The 40 is only 45.9" in the chest, which doesn't allow much room for an OCBD and a sportcoat.thanks for the response! Yes I was wearing a sportcoat under it. I could raise my arms up, but couldn't get much cross shoulder adduction, but this is more due to the actual sportcoat and not the jacket. I think I'm going to just brace the gut punch of a $600 credit card charge and order the 42R to test lol. Sadly that means this one has to stay in the closet with tags on for now.
I've also looked at it but the price point is too steep for me.Has anyone here ever tried the Arctic Parka with the Rabbit Fur and all? It never goes on sale, disappears off the site after winter, and is only sold at full price.
It looks compelling, but the lack of firsthand accounts is a little troubling.

Re: warmth - I felt the same way about my balmacaan (last year's donegal/herringbone), which I believe is lighter than yours and found that it was more comfortable to wear in colder weather if I layered more. The first few days I had it I just wore it over a shirt and merino wool sweater, but found that the combo wasn't suitable below about 38°F (in the northeast). I've started wearing it with a packable down vest over the sweater (plus a scarf) and can comfortably wear it until it reaches about 22°F. After that I just reach for my parka. Of course, your mileage may vary depending on much you're actually out in the elements. I usually take at least a 20 min. walk to and from the office during workdays and like to be comfortable during that time.Greetings all. I got the 40R Balmacaan recently. I think it fits properly, I put on a baselayer and arcteryx atom underneath it, and also tried a sportcoat. I had two questions
1. Should I try 42R? While it fits, it doesn't quite fit like a large oversized blanket the way the Drakes raglan coat fits me.
2. Wasn't terribly impressed with the warmth. When I stepped out in just this jacket over a light synthetic vest and flannel button down, I was pretty cold at 38F. That means it's not much warmer than my Barbour. Looking for a jacket that would do winter duty in Chicago.
